معنی
Scheduled meeting.
زمینه فرهنگی
The 'Agenda' is sacred. Showing up without an appointment (zomaar langskomen) is often frowned upon, even for close friends. While also organized, Flemish culture can be slightly more spontaneous than Northern Dutch culture, but 'een afspraak' remains the standard for professional life. In Surinamese Dutch, the phrase is the same, but the cultural attitude toward the strictness of the 'time' might be more relaxed than in Amsterdam. Meetings are the backbone of the 'Poldermodel'. If you don't have 'afspraken' in your calendar, people might think you aren't working.
The 'Bij' Rule
Always use 'bij' for professionals who have a fixed location (dentist, hairdresser, doctor).
Punctuality
If you have an 'afspraak' at 10:00, being there at 10:05 is considered late in the Netherlands.

The Diminutive
Use 'afspraakje' carefully; it's cute and social, but never use it for your boss!
